To whom does Jacob's Law provide notification regarding child crime victims?

Jacob's Law specifically addresses the need for notification to parents who are subject to custody orders regarding the crimes committed against their children. This legal requirement ensures that parents, who may be involved in custody disputes or care decisions, are informed about significant incidents affecting their child's well-being, particularly those related to victimization. It highlights the importance of parental awareness in navigating the complexities of child protection and legal proceedings.

This emphasis on notifying parents is rooted in the understanding that they play a critical role in responding to and supporting their child through the aftermath of a crime. Involvement of the parents can aid in the healing process and ensure appropriate resources and support systems are mobilized to address the child’s needs following the incident.

While social services, schools, and law enforcement agencies may have responsibilities for their roles in child welfare and safety, they are not the primary focus of Jacob's Law in terms of notification regarding child crime victims.
